ALBANY - GlobalFoundries, the computer-chip maker that has recently expanded its footprint in New York, has laid off about 75 workers at its East Fishkill plant, and 150 workers total in New York.

The cuts include 75 jobs in Malta, Saratoga County, a source familiar with the company’s decision said Tuesday.

GlobalFoundries, which in July obtained the East Fishkill plant from IBM, indicated last month that it planned to cut a small number of of U.S. workers, including in New York.

A company spokesman, James Keller, confirmed that cuts were made, but declined to say how many jobs were eliminated. It’s unclear what departments were hit.

“We are not sharing specific figures for our sites,” Keller said in an email. “Each of our sites did a great job of cost-cutting to make us more competitive — including voluntary reductions — which resulted in our final involuntary cuts being very limited.”

GlobalFoundries is a big player in New York, and that role was bolstered when it acquired IBM’s assets. At the time, though, company officials said it had no plans for layoffs, particularly after it invested $8 billion into the Malta plant. IBM also sold its plant near Burlington, Vermont, to GlobalFoundries.

“We plan to offer substantially all of the employees at East Fishkill and Burlington, VT., a job at GlobalFoundries, and we have no plans for layoffs or plans for shutting the plants down in any way,” Sanjay Jha, GlobalFoundries CEO, said July 1.

In September, GlobalFoundries’ biggest competitor, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co., was said to have secured most of the production of the microprocessors for the iPhone 7, a blow to GlobalFoundries’ operations in the Northeast, the Times Union reported.

New York has provided more than $1 billion in incentives to GlobalFoundries for the Malta plant, and the company is a major backer of the SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Albany — the sprawling nanocenter that is developing high-tech hubs across the state Thruway in Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse and Utica.
